Lifeguard Drone

Lifeguard assisting service, with the goal of safe swimming.

The operation of the system:
Entering the bathing area, people put on a smart bracelet.
According to our plan, the smart bracelets are sold through vending machines as well!
The goal of the smart bracelet: it gives a signal or alarm and sends an automatic emergency alarm to the lifeguard service. They get the exact location of the signal, and the data of the user immediately.
The drone is an important aspect of the system, it can quickly get to the person in need, and drop a lifebelt, which could save their life, as the lifeguards is get there.

The drone pulling the person ashore is a long-term perspective.

Signal, alarm:
Whenever a person is in danger, or feeling sick, they can set off the alarm manually (by pressing the alarm button themselves) or alarm turns on by an automatic signal sent from the smart lifeguard bracelet (from using a heartrate monitor and motion sensing algorithms), a specially developed drone then flies to the person in need, and drops a life jacket or a lifebuoy for them.

The system of the drone alerts the lifeguard service and shows the exact location of the person in need.

The wristband with the panic button is responsible for alarming our system. By pressing the button, the signal is received by a system made of at least 4 buoys, and by measuring the electric field’s strength, it can detect the location of the person and send this information to the base. The drone immediately takes off and approaches the destination, while continuously specifying the exact location, using the signals from the bracelet. Arriving at the scene, the drone unleashes a life jacket or a lifebuoy from a 1-2 metre height. After completing the task, the drone gets back to its station.

Optionally, it is possible for the drone to be set to perform pre-programmed tasks, as well as implementing and taking on patrol and inspector roles.

By using this system, we can make the beach a safer place for the people there. In case of a calamity, accidents in the water can be prevented by using a fast and automatised system.

The components of the system:
- Smart lifeguard bracelet
- Drone centre- Drone garage
- Drone and life-saving equipment
- Smart network, which covers the whole supervisory area, solar buoys, and transmitters, terrestrial antennas

The system’s utilization at Hungarian open waters: at Lake Balaton, though it could also be used worldwide at beaches of seas and oceans, where safety is especially important. The smart bracelet could be used in indoor spas as a safety device; thus the product line is marketable in numerous areas.
